Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the ignition and door lock keys different - pentagram head on the ignition and round head on the door keys? In the case of my 65 sedan delivery conversion, i have 3 different keys - an ignition key, door lock keys (NOS locks with the keys) and a NOS glove bock lock key. I still need a key for the tailgate power window. Would you get the ignition key to operate everything (like a modern car), or key the tailgate lock to the ignition key (which is what I suspect the factory did) or key the glovebox lock to door keys and have 2 keys like they had originally.
 
On my wagon the doors and ignition and tail gate window are all the same.

I have a very original B body wagon and doors, ignition, rear window the same but the glove box lock has a round trunk key that was unique to the glove box.

I think there were some changes thought the years. My 66 and 70 both use the ignition key for the door locks. The trunk is the separate round key.
 
Ignition and door key is the pentastar shaped one, the trunk and glove box locks take the round key...

The ignition and doors all take the same key...
 
Rani is correct for a wagon. My 64 Belvedere wagon was just as she stated, and I had a 65 Valiant wagon that was the same way. Ignition, doors, and tailgate...one key. Glovebox was round like a trunk key.
 
I only ever owned one wagon. A 65 Dart. It used one key for doors, ignition, and tailgate. All the rest of my 64 or 65s used the pentastars for door and ignition and round for the trunk.
 
It depends not only on the model year, but the specific model at times too as mentioned in above.
 
^ What Alaskan TA said. the popular years used one for Ign and the door, other round for the trunk, but some variance over the years and car lines.
 
The ignition and doors, to include the tailgate took the same key. It looks like the one below.
The glovebox took a round key. But that key should have no groves on one side.
If I was betting, your ignition cylinder was replaced at some point.
The penatstar keys weren't used until 1969 and up. Yes, you and others probably have pentastar keys that work fine, but if you have an ignition switch on the dash, it came with a square head key.
You have to be careful with trunk keys. 64-66 use one type, 67 and 68 have model year unique blanks. 69 and up use the same key.
To make it even more confusing, Mopar parts division decided they weren't going to service 4 different p/n's for keys. They came out with a service pkg on a TSB that gave you a lock cylinder that took the 69 newer blank and several actuator rods to fit your application.
You can get the doors and ignition the same, but the glovebox has to stay the way it is. You might get lucky and find a police or government lock cylinder pkg. That will have all the keys alike.
